This is an old one (not only does the phone have a cord, it also has a rotary dial!), yet somehow it still holds true. Especially since today is the last Sunday of the month...and we're doing our home teaching today.

A lot of folks were worried about how the construction would impact BYU football games, since University Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares leading to the stadium. We came up with announcements for the stadium, ads for the radio and newspapers, and we really didn't mess things up that much. It also gave some good material for a few cartoon strips.

One time when we visited an ancient temple in Korea, the monks took us on a "behind the scenes" tour. It was pretty cool to see some of the stuff the normal tourists didn't see...like the really sweet motorcycle that was hidden behind a couple of the buildings on the compound.

This happened to me during my junior year in high school - I'd toss my cookies after every race. My coach suggested that i eat a peanut butter sandwich right before I ran, so I gave that idea a try. It didn't work, but at least it tasted better!

In something totally unrelated (unless you really stretch it with the "nothingness" concept), ODOT just launched an innovative project called the Solar Highway. There's a video on You Tube that explains the idea, which uses highway right of way to house solar panels to provide electricity. It's pretty cool.

Zen paintings are about catching the essence of the subject. These cartoons, therefore, are not just sketches. They are meant to catch the essence of the moment... but remember, they are Not Quite Zen.

Actually, they found some pretty cool stuff during the excavation, like some old trolley tracks in the middle of the Center Street intersection that weren't on any of the maps. That drew a lot of crowds downtown. Some of the merchants suggested we bury more stuff to be uncovered every block or so to keep people coming.

We also accidentally discovered a gas line near 800 North. That was kind of exciting too, but in a different way.

When my wife finished reading Breaking Dawn around two o'clock Sunday morning, she told me that I had to run this particular cartoon that I did about ten years ago. I had been saving it to run in October. Apparently it's one of those Twilight things: if you get it, you get it.

DMV in Oregon (which is part of the Department of Transportation) is now requiring proof of citizenship and Social Security number for everyone. It's caused problems for a few people. So I thought, why stop at requiring a birth certificate? Bring in those family group sheets!
